Abstract
The incidence and mortality rates of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) among people under 50 years old are showing an upward trend. Although traditional epidemiological studies have conducted relatively deep research and screened out environmental factors related to EOCRC, our understanding of the causes, mechanisms, and treatment of this disease is still far from sufficient. In this review, we clarify the current progress of EOCRC, with a particular focus on epidemiology, screening status, clinical symptoms, and prognosis. This provides new evidence for secondary prevention, including precision screening, and offers new ideas for improving the diagnosis and treatment of EOCRC.

Abstract
With the widespread application of colorectal cancer screening, the surveillance and management of the increasing number of screened population has become a pivotal aspect in preventing and controlling colorectal cancer. In recent years, researches have been conducted on the risk of colorectal cancer incidence and mortality in the population after screening. At the same time, various organizations in Europe and the United States have continuously updated colonoscopy surveillance after screening and polypectomy based on the latest research evidence. In this review, we summarized the current progress of studies on colorectal cancer risk in post-screening colorectal cancer populations and the key points of relevant guideline updates, in order to provide a reference for conducting relevant studies and formulating surveillance guidelines or consensus in China.

Abstract
In the period of the Republic of China, the maternal and infant mortality rates were high, most of which were caused by puerperal fever and neonatal tetanus. In this sense, Chinese traditional midwives were often regarded as "dirty". After western obstetrics was introduced into China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early period of the Republic of China,the occurrence of postpartum infection was effectively reduced with childbirth disinfection. To improve the health status of women and infants, the government of the Republic of China put in place measures to develop midwifery. The training of the traditional midwives was included in midwifery education. The delivery basket was used to help promote the new method of delivery and popularise the concept of sterilization of delivery. Thus, midwifery was remodeled and the remodeled midwives played an important role in family midwifery education.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of unilateral biportal endoscopy unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (UBE-ULBD) to posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in the treatment of severe lumbar spinal stenosis (SLSS). Methods: The clinical data of 64 patients with SLSS treated with PLIF and UBE-ULBD in Dalian Central Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University from April 2018 to April 2021 were collected and divided into UBE group and PLIF group according to the different surgical procedures. There were 30 cases in the UBE group, including 12 males and 18 females, aged (69.8±6.8) years. There were 34 patients in the PLIF group, including 15 males and 19 females, aged (69.3±6.3) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical complications, the volume of drainage, transfusion, post-operative bed rest time, postoperative hospital stay, surgical costs of both groups were recorded and analyzed. The visual analogue scales (VAS) of back/leg pain (pre-operation and 1 d, 1 month, 6 month, 12 month post-operation) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) (pre-operation and 1 month, 6 month, 12 month post-operation) were used to determine the outcome. And the dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA) and Schizas grade of both groups preoperatively and 6 month postoperatively were recorded. Results: The operation time in the UBE group was (69.2±8.0) min, it was lower than that in the PLIF group (139.0±15.3) min (P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss and drainage in the UBE group were (19.5±5.6) ml and (15.0±10.8) ml, which were both lower than those in the PILF group [(212.4±34.1) ml and (169.6±43.8) ml] (both P<0.05). The postoperative bed rest time and hospital stay in the UBE group were (1.8±0.7) days and (3.0±0.9) days, which were both shorter than those in the PLIF group [(4.5±1.4) days and (7.1±1.7) days] (both P<0.05). The surgical cost was also lower in the UBE group than that in the PLIF group [RMB,(18.4±1.0) thousands yuan vs (33.9±2.4) thousands yuan, P<0.05]. In addition, no patient received blood transfusion in the UBE group. Dural sac tear occurred in 2 cases in the UBE group and in 3 cases in PLIF group; nerve root injury and infection occurred in one case in the PLIF group, respectively. In the PLIF group, the VAS of back pain was not significantly improved 1 day after operation when compared with that before the operation, but it significantly improved 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after operation (all P<0.05). The VAS for back pain at 1 day after operation and ODI at 1 month after operation in the UBE group were significantly superior to those in the PLIF group (both P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the two groups in the VAS for back pain at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after operation and ODI at 6 months and 1 year after operation. Both groups got significant canal expansion after the surgery and the PLIF group showed larger canal expansion extent (all P<0.05). Both groups improved significantly after surgery in the Schizas grade, there were 25 cases in UBE group improved to grade A, 5 cases to grade B while 30 cases in PLIF group improved to grade A, 4 cases to grade B, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: ULBD-UBE could achieve full decompression of the whole spinal canal with limited structures damage in treating SLSS. Compared with PLIF, UBE-ULBD could get complete decompression as well as less iatrogenic damage, it may be an ideal alternative surgical technique for SLSS with less invasion.

Abstract
In recent years, due to changes in the epidemiology of colorectal cancer in the United States, the update of evidence-based medical evidence for screening, and the emergence of various new screening methods, various organizations in the United States, such as American College of Gastroenterology、Preventive Services Task Force, have updated guidelines for colorectal cancer screening in average-risk individuals. These guidelines have different recommendation levels in terms of starting and ending age, screening methods and frequency for colorectal cancer screening. A comprehensive understanding of the key points of these guideline updates and the similarities and differences recommended by different guidelines has important reference value for the colorectal cancer screening in China.

Duration of varenicline prescription and efficacy of smoking cessation treatment: an observational study in Taiwan. Prev Med 2022; 161:107091. [PMID: 35660554 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2022.107091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Although varenicline has had a significant effect on smoking cessation in randomized clinical trials, the dose-effect of varenicline treatment for smoking cessation in real-world settings remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the duration of varenicline prescription and smoking cessation in Taiwan after adjusting for potential confounding effects and endogeneity bias. A total of 5106 Taiwanese participants received varenicline monotherapy for smoking cessation between March 2012 and September 2016. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) was used to analyze the association between varenicline prescription duration and smoking cessation, stratified by the frequency of smoking clinic visits and propensity scores of early stopping of smoking cessation treatment. Compared to the reference of nonquitting, longer durations of varenicline prescription were associated with the greater likelihood of immediate and complete quitting (OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.02-1.14) and late quitting (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.07-1.20). Among those who were more likely to continue visiting smoking clinics, longer use of varenicline was significantly associated with an increase in immediate-and-complete quitting (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.15-1.23) and late quitting (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.20-1.28). Varenicline prescription duration was not associated with smoking cessation among smokers who visited smoking clinics once. The relationship between varenicline prescription duration and smoking cessation was modified by the frequency of smoking clinic visits and was dependent on quitting process patterns. Encouraging smokers to continue visiting the smoking cessation clinic and use medication will help smoking cessation efforts in Taiwan.

Direct acceleration of collimated monoenergetic sub-femtosecond electron bunches driven by a radially polarized laser pulse. OPTICS EXPRESS 2021; 29:30223-30236.

Abstract
High-quality ultrashort electron beams have diverse applications in a variety of areas, such as 4D electron diffraction and microscopy, relativistic electron mirrors and ultrashort radiation sources. Direct laser acceleration (DLA) mechanism can produce electron beams with a large amount of charge (several to hundreds of nC), but the generated electron beams usually have large divergence and wide energy spread. Here, we propose a novel DLA scheme to generate high-quality ultrashort electron beams by irradiating a radially polarized laser pulse on a nanofiber. Since electrons are continuously squeezed transversely by the inward radial electric field force, the divergence angle gradually decreases as electrons transport stably with the laser pulse. The well-collimated electron bunches are effectively accelerated by the circularly-symmetric longitudinal electric field and the relative energy spread also gradually decreases. It is demonstrated by three-dimensional (3D) simulations that collimated monoenergetic electron bunches with 0.75° center divergence angle and 14% energy spread can be generated. An analytical model of electron acceleration is presented which interprets well by the 3D simulation results.

Abstract
The application of pit and fissure sealants is a well-established method to prevent and treat early childhood caries. Resin-based sealants with antibacterial properties provide additional benefits for caries prevention in a cariogenic oral environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an antibacterial core-shell AgBr/cationic polymer nanocomposite (AgBr/BHPVP) on the properties of a resin-based pit and fissure sealant. A commercialized pit and fissure sealant without fluoride, Concise (3M, ESPE, USA), was used as the parent material and negative control. Experimental antibacterial sealants were formulated by the addition of AgBr/BHPVP nanoparticles at mass fractions of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt% to the parent material. A fluoride-releasing sealant, Clinpro (3M, ESPE), was used as the positive control. Bacterial colony-forming unit (CFU) counts, metabolic activity tests, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) observations were used to evaluate the antibacterial properties of AgBr/BHPVP-modified sealants against Streptococcus mutans before and after five months of aging. The Vickers microhardness, degree of conversion, and microleakage level of the sealants were also investigated. According to the results of CFU counts and metabolic tests, sealants containing AgBr/BHPVP showed better contact-killing bactericidal activity against S. mutans than the two commercial sealants, irrespective of aging conditions (both P < 0.05). The AgBr/BHPVP-modified sealants also showed a significant inhibitory effect on the planktonic S. mutans around the cured sealant surfaces. In addition, the Vickers microhardness, degree of conversion, and microleakage level of the parent material were not damaged by modification with AgBr/BHPVP (P > 0.05). AgBr/BHPVP-modified pit and fissure sealant with a dual bactericidal mechanism is a promising option for the prevention of pit and fissure caries.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between postoperative hypoalbuminemia and poor wound healing, and to evaluate whether postoperative supplementation of human serum albumin can improve postoperative wound healing after lumbar internal fixation surgery. Methods: From January 2014 to December 2018, 602 patients who underwent lumbar internal fixation surgery in the Department of Orthopedics, Zhujiang Hostiptal of Southern Medical University were identified. There were 250 males (41.5%) and 352 females (58.5%), with an average age of (60±12) years. All patients' clinical records were reviewed, including demographics data, comorbidity data, preoperative serum laboratory values, intraoperative factor, postoperative serum laboratory values and wound healing, and the incidence rate of poor wound healing was calculated. The statistical analyses were performed with R software and Empower(R) to analyze the factors related to poor wound healing. Multiple logistic regression models were performed with adjustment for the potential confounders to evaluate the effect of postoperative hypoalbuminemia and supplementation of human serum albumin on the development of poor wound healing. Results: Poor wound healing occurred in 51(8.47%) patients. After adjusting for the confounding factors, multiple regression analysis showed that there was no correlation between postoperative albumin levels and poor wound healing(OR=1.00, 95%CI: 0.91-1.10, P=1.000). Compared with patients with postoperative normal albumin level, postoperative hypoalbuminemia would increase the risk of poor wound healing by 13% (OR=1.13, 95%CI: 0.47-2.70, P=0.787). There was no correlation between supplementation of human serum albumin and poor wound healing in patients with normal albumin levels or postoperative hypoalbuminemia (P>0.05). Conclusions: There is no correlation between postoperative hypoalbuminemia and poor wound healing after lumbar internal fixation surgery. Postoperative supplementation of human serum albumin can't improve wound healing.

Abstract
Galectins can recognize and specifically bind to β-galactoside residues, playing crucial roles in innate immune responses of vertebrates and invertebrates. We cloned the cDNA of a tandem-repeat galectin from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (designated as PoGal2). PoGal2 cDNA is 1347 bp long and consists of a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of 3 bp, a 3'-UTR of 297 bp with one cytokine RNA instability motif (ATTTA), and an open reading frame of 1047 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 349 amino acids, with an estimated molecular mass of 38.1 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 8.5. PoGal2 contains two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs); both have the conserved carbohydrate-binding motifs H-NPR and WG-EE. PoGal2 shares 50.6 and 50.9% identity with those of abalone (Haliotis discus) and the Manila clam (Venerupis philippinarum), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the tandem-repeat galectins formed two clades for the different species. Molluscan tandem-repeat galectins were clustered into a single clade, and nematode tandem-repeat galectins were clustered into another single clade. In both clades, CRD-N and CRD-C were divided into different groups. PoGal2 mRNA was constitutively expressed in all tissues analyzed, and the expression level of PoGal2 mRNA was found to be significantly up-regulated in digestive glands, gills and hemocytes after Vibrio alginolyticus stimulation/infection. Expression profile analysis showed that the expression level of PoGal2 mRNA was significantly up-regulated at 8, 12 and 24 h after V. alginolyticus infection. These results suggest that PoGal2 is a constitutive and inducible acute-phase protein involved in the innate immune response of pearl oysters.

Abstract
A novel method is introduced to estimate surface coverage and the equation of state of insoluble surfactant on droplets, involving measurement of interfacial tension on a single parent drop and progressively subdivided generations of daughter drops. This has enabled quantitative decomposition of the dilution, tip-stretching, and Marangoni effects of surfactants on drop deformation. For a small viscosity ratio of 0.09, the Marangoni effect dominates, increasing first and then decreasing with surface coverage, the dilution effect is significant at high, and tip-stretching only at low surface coverage. For a viscosity ratio of 2.3, the dilution effect dominates, and neither Marangoni nor tip-stretching effects play an important role.

Abstract
The Src-homology domain 2 (SH2)-containing cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-1 (SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1), interacts with several B cell surface and intracellular signal transduction molecules through its SH2 domains. Mice with the motheaten and viable motheaten mutations are deficient in SHP-1 and lack most mature B cells. To define the role of SHP-1 in mature B cells, we expressed phosphatase-inactive SHP-1 (C453S) in a mature B cell lymphoma line. SHP-1 (C453S) retains the ability to bind to both substrates and appropriate tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins and therefore can compete with the endogenous wild-type enzyme. We found that B cells expressing SHP-1 (C453S) demonstrated enhanced and prolonged tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins with molecular masses of 110, 70, and 55-60 kDa after stimulation with anti-mouse IgG. The tyrosine kinase Syk was hyperphosphorylated and hyperactive in B cells expressing SHP-1 (C453S). SHP-1 and Syk were coimmunoprecipitated from wild-type K46 cells, K46 SHP-1 (C453S) cells, and splenic B cells, and SHP-1 dephosphorylated Syk. Cells expressing SHP-1 (C453S) showed increased Ca2+ mobilization, extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation, and homotypic adhesion after B cell Ag receptor engagement. Thus, SHP-1 regulates multiple early and late events in B lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
AIM To study the actions of sodium suberogorgin (Sub) on normal- and myocardial ischemic-reperfused-working hearts. METHODS The isolated guinea pig working hearts were perfused with edetic acid (0.2 mumol.L(-1))-Krebs-Henseleit solution by left pulmonary vein at 37 +/- 0.5 degrees C. The perfusing pressure of left atrium and the afterload of left ventricle were maintained at 1.0 and 7.2 kPa, respectively. During 50-min low-flow global ischemia, coronary flow was maintained at 4.7 +/- 0.2% of normal working hearts via retrograding perfusion. Reperfusion lasted 35 min following ischemia. RESULTS Before ischemia, the aortic pressure, left ventricular systolic pressure, the maximal rate of left ventricular pressure change (+ dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmax), cardiac output, stroke volume, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and heart rate of working hearts treated with Sub 10 mumol.L(-1) for 10 min were increased by 14%, 17%, 17%, 22%, 15%, 32%, -200%, and -11%, respectively. These parameters were reduced when Sub was increased to 50 mumol.L(-1). Reperfusion aggravated the myocardial damages induced by ischemia. Sub 10 mumol.L(-1) used before and during low-flow ischemia completely restored all above parameters except heart rate to the level of preischemia. When Sub was increased to 50 mumol.L(-1), only an attenuation of myocardial damage was observed. CONCLUSION Sub obviously improved the ischemic-reperfused injury in isolated working hearts.

Abstract
Suberogorgin was isolated from Gorgoniae suberogorgia sp from South China Sea. The isolated rabbit ileum contracted in a concentration-dependent manner by suberogorgin-Na (Sub) 2.13 mumol.L-1 or higher. Sub 213 mumol.L-1 had no effect on the relaxation induced by norepinephrine and isoprenaline 10-100 mumol.L-1 on ileum. The stimulation of Sub on ileum was antagonized by atropine 56 mumol.L-1 or indometacin 0.35 mmol.L-1 and was partly blocked by indometacin 0.17 mmol.L-1, but was not affected by diphenhydramine 10 mumol.L-1. On the contracted ileum induced by neostigmine 1.7 mumol.L-1, acetylcholine 0.1 mumol.L-1 increased the tension but Sub 213 mumolL-1 did not. Sub obviously inhibited the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from mouse brain hemogenates in vitro. Its pI50 (negative logarithm of molar concentration causing 50% inhibition of AChE) was 4.18, while the pI50 of neostigmine was 4.75. The results indicated that the ileum-excitant action of Sub was chiefly related to the inhibition of AChE.

Abstract
Hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody (HBsAg and anti-HBs, respectively) prevalence was examined by means of solid-phase radioimmunoassay in 503 serum samples obtained from factory workers (230 men and 273 women) in Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, China, in 1985. The prevalence of HBsAg-positlve cases was 8% and that of anti-HBs-positive cases was 46%; the overall prevalence rate was 53% when the positivity in either of the two was considered to be indicative of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. There was no significant sex difference in the rate, whereas anti-HBs rate was slightly elevated in accordance with increased age. The review and evaluation of existing data in 14 articles led to a conclusion that the current HBV prevalence among Chinese populations will be in the range of 50% to 60%.
